The record

Title: Sunny Day Real Estate – Diary
Year/Genre: 1994, Emo
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Recorded in Seattle and released on Sub Pop, it stood out on a label otherwise known mainly for grunge, signaling a shift toward more introspective guitar music in the mid-1990s.

  2. The band’s intense shows and sudden mid-decade breakup helped build a cult following, with early live recordings circulated heavily among tape-trading fans.

  3. Often cited as a key bridge between D.C.-style emotional hardcore and later indie/emo bands, its influence can be traced through late-’90s and 2000s underground guitar scenes worldwide.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
